It was a monumental day for the City of Swift Current.

     Over five years after the public voted over 55 percent in favour of bringing a casino to the city, the Living Sky Casino is set to open its doors to the public later this morning.

     At a preview event last night for local dignitaries, Mayor Sandy Larson says she was happy to see the final product hit completion.  General Manager Lionel Tootoosis says the facility will equal positive economic spinoff for the city. 

     The Sky Centre performing arts portion of the building is undergoing final touches and is set to open in mid-February.
